Makeup With Marisa // The Edit: Part 1 - Grunge

As soon as I saw the new City Chic collection ‘The Edit’ I was so excited!
Of all their latest arrivals THIS is the collection that resonates so closely to my personal style.

But the great thing about this look is that the new pieces are super versatile and can be worn a number of ways, as well as with past CC staples to suit your style.

In my two part blog series, I am going to share a couple of ways I like to wear styles from The Edit: Grunge VS Girly.

In this edition I am going to share my 90’s grunge revival. I’m talking Gwen Stefani 90‘s No Doubt, meets Jane from Daria, meets Courtney Love from Hole. It’s bad ass style with attitude and I have created a quick and easy makeup look to wear with it using my favourite Autumn shades.

For this look I have used warm tones, the perfect palette for Autumn and the cooler months.

With a fluffy blending brush apply a mustard yellow shadow into the crease (I used '#616' by Inglot). Go back and forth in a fast, light handed motion to blend.

Once done, get a flat brush and pack a taupe shadow over the entire lid (I used '#357' by Inglot) working it up to the crease. Then pick up a cranberry coloured shadow (I used '#450' by Inglot) and apply it to the outer corner to add some depth.

Then with a clean fluffy brush lightly blend in the crease to fuse the two colours together.

Using a pencil brush, apply the same cranberry shade to the outer bottom lash line, half way along and then use the same taupe shade and work it half way along to the inner corner. Then take a clean fluffy brush and lightly blend over the top of both shades, lightly smoking it out.

For the inner corner of the eye and the brow bone apply a light gold shimmer (I used '#09' by Inglot).

If you don’t want to commit to a completely new hair hue but you want to experiment with colour to really amp up the grunge look, I would definitely recommend ‘Dare’ temporary hair colours. They come in a variety of shades and are available from Hairhouse Warehouse for $19.95.
